    I've informed Apple of a serious Safari problem a few months ago and still they haven't fixed it. I have decided to release a demo of how Safari will allow cross domain javascript access. I think this is a major issue and I am releasing it here with the hope that Apple will get off their backside and fix this problem as in the latest security update it wasn't addressed.
